Portugal. The Man: American Ghetto band
Portugal. The Man has been a favorite of mine ever since Waitor: You Vultures, and I consider them one of the most fluid bands around. By fluid, I mean they change a hell of a lot from album to album. American Ghetto is definitely no exception. It starts off …
Mariah Carey Hero Single

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane over the Sea

Temples of Boom, 1995 Album by Cypress Hill
When I got hold of this album I honesty did not expect to be that good. It so happened that I first got acquainted with Cypress Hill albums released in 1999 and 2000, and only then moved on to their earlier releases. And, the early releases were rather good, …
Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight album
I have downloaded every song from Linkin Parks new album “Minutes to Midnight” off of iTunes and even though their new style of music is far from their old I think that this is still a good album. Most of the songs on this newer album are a slower …
All That You Cant Leave Behind 2000 Album by U2

Fender AT-3 Guitar Tuner

4 Minutes by Madonna Featuring Justin Timberlake

All For Love by Hillsongs
This song is one of my favorite songs from Hillsongs Australia. It was a very touching song that really sings from the soul. It talks about the love of God for us that He has given His only Son for us to be save.
Darlene Zschech is the popular female …
Chad Smith Signature Snare
In my band we have played about 10 shows in 2010. We always bring the enregy and our drummer is probably the hardest hitting drummer that we have had. Due to his high velocity powerful drumming, it was about time to get a new snare drum. I could …
The Beatles - Blackbird (Song)
Blackbird is a song by The Beatles which appears on their self-titled record, otherwise known as The White Album. Although I say that this is a song by The Beatles it’s really a Paul McCartney song as he’s the main writer, if not the only writer, and he is …

Oh! Darling is a track which appears on one of The Beatles’ later records, Abbey Road. Right from hearing the first few bits of the song you should be able to get a good sense that this is certainly a Paul McCartney track, and one of his better ones …
In Flames Come Clarity CD
I never thought that In Flames would ever change up some of their style(i.e the cheesy guitar riffs and the drums), and they did just that. Also, with the added keyboardist, added some atmosphere to their music, which is nice.
THEY ADDED A GROOVE! I have always wanted In Flames …
Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D
Don’t take Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D too seriously. If not, you will not like the music at all. Instead, if you just listen for pleasure, doing some things while listening and putting on this CD music while the guests are in your home for a birthday party …

“P.E. 2000 (Spanish Remix)”
Forever

Nope, sorry Puffy, still no cigar. First he gave us the original version of “P.E. 2000″, then a rock remix version which was a tad bit entertaining but not quite, and now we have the most boring version of them …
Bob Dylan - Desire
Overview - Desire, Bob Dylan’s seventeenth studio album, features a lot of storytelling lyrics and even biographical lyrics, as heard on Hurricane and on Joey. To be honest, most of these tracks just strike me as solid but there are also some tracks which I personally think are good …
Nothing In This World by Paris Hilton

Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show
I watched Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show before and I must say that I was totally bemused and impressed. I think the lead singer, Nicole sang like a karaoke version of something. She can really stretch her vocal chords and it was so fun …
Slipknot-Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) CD
I was scared off by Slipknot for a long time, I think because they’re one of those bands that wear masks. Even though I like hard rock, for some reason, masks will make me not want to listen to a band every time. But I’m glad I …
Trae - Life Goes On
Trae released another gem for the streets. His latest LP entitled “Life Goes On” is jam packed with “bangers.” He comes on point with this release. Trae proves why he is “The Truth.” The album features guest appearances by Lil Wayne, Rich Boy, Lloyd, Slim Thug, Jody Breeze (Boyz …

Rudimentary Peni: “Farce” (1981, EP)

Metallica - The Memory Remains (Music Video)

MGMT - We Don’t Care (Song)
We Don’t Care is the final track on MGMT’s debut record, Climbing To New Lows. What’s interesting about this song is that I suppose it’s paired with We Care, the first “real” song on this record. As I said in my review of We Care, what I liked about …

After the Loving by Engelbert Humperdink

Boys II Men
The all male musical group Boys II Men was an African AMerican soul music group who was for the most part poular from the early to late Nineteen Nineties. Thus I would hear their songs throughout my childhood being played on the radio, and I would even see their …
Muse - Ruled By Secrecy (Song)
